Throwing myself head first into big projects is something I really love to do. Seeing as the website could use a little TLC, I&#8217;d be more than happy to take on this position and make the website more reliable and user friendly.<\/li>\n<li>Krishan Taylor &#8211;\u00a0Hi everyone, I&#8217;m Krishan! I&#8217;m a former member of Fringe, and I&#8217;ve been working on and leading web development teams since graduating from SCS in 2010. As Webmaster, I&#8217;m going to make our online experience more mobile friendly, give the website a more modern look, and roll out some new raceday tools, in addition to making the usual bug fixes and security updates. I look forward to hearing your suggestions on how else I can improve our website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Team Outreach<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Ethan Gladding &#8211;\u00a0I originally joined on with what remained of Pioneers and I fell in love with Buggy. I have been a Pusher, Mechanic, Amateur Machinist, Assistant Chairman, and all around enthusiast. After Pioneers folded in the Fall of 2011 I worked with the school administration to transfer Pioneers resources into the fledgling Apex buggy and stuck around to help them build their first buggy. This year I helped operate the buggy safety net as a member of W3VC-Radio Club. I also have been assisting the Buggy Alumni Association by providing notes for the roll-reports. I&#8217;ll be staying in the city after graduating and would be honored to represent the BAA. Making buggy more accessible has always been a goal of mine. All sport is weird and arbitrary, but buggy takes it to the nth degree and that makes it special.<\/li>\n<li>Edward Cao &#8211; Hi, I&#8217;m Edward and I was the Sweepstakes Chairman for Raceday 2016, I was a pusher and push captain for SDC Buggy, and also am a brother of Phi Delta Theta and helped procure them Perun and get their buggy program started with the help of KDR alums and Sweepstakes. I think I&#8217;d be a natural fit for this role given my experience with Sweepstakes and helping Phi Delt start their buggy team. I am still in contact with a good number of current students and recent alums such that I would be able help new or prospective teams connect with knowledgeable alumni for guidance. Furthermore, I&#8217;d be happy to help out with the publications that the BAA puts out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>NON-NOMINATED POSITION:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Treasurer<\/strong> &#8211; This position manages our financial reports, organizes our membership roster, and coordinates the Lead Truck Auction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/forms\/wfn6MZNNHXBjIuRI3\">Happy Voting!<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After 2 weeks of Nominations, it&#8217;s high time we elect some new officers to the BAA!
